Glass Barn Doors Gave Our Office A Stunning Modern Look

I can’t remember where I first saw glass barn doors, but as soon as I did I knew we had to have them. We wanted the option to close off the office to the living room but since we don’t get a ton of light in the house, we didn’t want anything solid that would make it darker.

The glass barn doors were actually one of our first purchases in our house even though we didn’t install them until last week (a year and a half later). The reason for this was after the initial demo, we actually had to build the new wall. Since we knew the doors were made of metal and glass, they were going to be extra heavy. For that reason, Kevin designed the wall supports specifically with a large header that can handle the weight.  

Other projects like the kitchen and mantel got in the way, but the longer the doors sat against the wall, the more it bothered us. Two weeks ago, I got fed up. It was time to finish this room. Annoyingly, it was also the only room on the first floor that didn’t get painted. So, first things first, I painted the room so we had something pretty to install the doors on.

Last week the day came and we finally install these beautiful glass barn doors. The doors are custom ordered from Rustica Hardware and were built to the exact specifications we requested.

We also got to pick our hardware and added additional features such as a soft close function.

Here is the final look of the glass barn doors!

Every time I walk into the room it makes me smile. They are just so stunningly beautiful and are a statement piece our family will be talking about for years.

What do you think? Would you get glass barn doors?

      Hi Dorthy! The doors themselves are definitely an investment and completely custom. They ended up being just under $2,700. When you include the cost of the materials to build the header, etc the totally cost probably ended up being around $2,800.

Flip a dining set I thought … how hard could it Flip a dining set I thought … how hard could it be?! When you’re a type A perfectionist that needs to execute to your exact vision and have a 4 month old needing you all the time, apparently very hard. 

But man is she pretty. 

My margins on this are basically nonexistent with all of the mistakes (cough:: learning opportunities) I had a long the way but I’m proud of that it came out exactly as I envisioned. Now the big question: how much do you think I can sell it for?

We’re days away from meeting our little girl and if she’s anything like her parents we’re in big trouble! 

At least the room is cute.

We’re so ready for you baby girl! When we starte We’re so ready for you baby girl! When we started working in the nursery there was not a chance I thought it would be totally ready in time. Close? Sure. But finished? No way. 

We are so lucky to have so many people help us along the way (and for getting so many great deals on marketplace to bring this room together!) 

Now all we need is a little girl to use it!

Can you believe this was all done with scrap wood that we had in the garage? 

For our baby shower we asked guests to bring a book in lieu of a card and im obsessed. We have the perfect amount of new stories to fill our shelves and a million memories to make in this cozy nook.

I feel like we’ve done so much work to the house this year but when it’s almost all in one room, I’m realizing it doesn’t always look like it. 

With the nursery almost ready to go and baby girl coming any day, we can only begin to imagine the great things 2023 is going to have in store for us!
